63 ¢ for rent... per month. I'll take it! √

It has to be the price paid by the first French settlers in New France and it happens to be the price of my property taxes... for the time being.
It's a thoushand times cheaper than to rent in Montreal – let alone buy – and double that taking into consideration what I am about to built. The difference is staggering.
Of course it won't always be that way, but I'd rather start at such a low cost, making the rest feasible.
In today's world, one has to either earn above 100 grand or less than 10. Since the 6 digits income mostly comes with a pricetag (lifestyle, standing, mundanities, etc.) and that I am unable to cope with that anymore, I chose the other extreme.
According to the pyramid needs of Abraham Maslow, one has to fulfill one's primary needs before reaching a higher level of self. I do not need to sit on a golden toilet seat. I can satisfy myself with a backhouse, for I do not spend much time in there. And it's boring to sit all day :-)

In technical terms, the water closet system is rather polluting as much as the spreading of liquid manure of pigs which has a severe effect on ground water, on deforestation, as it is the case in Montérégie. Incendentally, the green zoning has this rather strange rules whereas you can't shit in that zoning but you can spread liquid manure of pigs on square kilometers and even cut down forests to do so. Other sanitary and non-chemical systems exist such as septic tanks. I always wonder though where is the stuff going after the tanks are being emptied by "specialized" firms.
I would by far prefer compost though I might not have much of a choice, depending on the municipality's policies. The most important is to leave this world as clean as I entered it for the next tenants to come on this planet.
I might be seen as cheap but I don't think I am. I call for the redistribution of wealth and sharing. I do not know how much more this society can go on the current trend. At least I am not waiting for things to happen in political terms. I'll be dead before the light shows up.
Of course an apartment in Paris or New York, etc. would be so much better! For some maybe. I am not ready to pay for this privilege and prefer to have none of it which is a reverse of my wishes before. Over and out.
My only wish: stop worrying about feeling fragile and worrysome day after day because of money... and being in the lowland of life makes you think acutely about what's essential. Not the image of who you are but the genuine you at the helm.
After all I am here to be able to do something that comes from my brain, not doing other people's stuff except for volunteer work.
